A group of protesters outside Ben Shapiro’s speaking event at Ohio State University chanted “John McCain’s dead” and “Reagan’s dead” in an apparent taunt aimed at the conservative commentator. The protests were shown in a video shared by Federalist editor Emily Jashinsky. Shapiro is a conservative commentator who has drawn protests and sparked controversy at several events where he has spoken. His event Tuesday at Ohio State was part of his ongoing campus tour, which is sponsored by conservative student group Young America’s Foundation. Outside the auditorium where the event was held, protesters also chanted “f--k Ben Shapiro,” according to...

Shortened title. Full title: Corey Lewandowski Slams ‘Hypocrite’ Ben Shapiro For Defending Jim Acosta but Who Famously Took the Side of Hoaxer Michelle Fields During the 2016 election, Ben Shapiro sided with Michelle Fields in her bogus accusations that Trump Campaign Manager Corey Lewandowski abused her at a campaign event. Yesterday Shapiro sided with abuser Jim Acosta from CNN. What is wrong with Ben’s abuse barometer? Breitbart reporter Michelle Fields made headlines in 2016 when she claimed Trump Campaign Manager Corey Lewandowski grabbed her and threw her down on the ground at a Jupiter, Florida Trump campaign victory speech. Video...

Ben Shapiro tweeted this morning: "If your first reaction to some evil person sending bombs to a variety of politicians on one side of the aisle is "FALSE FLAG," you are officially deranged." Doesn't Ben Shapiro realize that we are DEALING WITH DERANGED LEFTISTS???? I mean for crying out loud just a few weeks ago the left threw the presumption of innocence out the window!!!! To think that the deranged left wouldn't attempt to "False Flag" themselves is just plain stupid. Children learn how to false flag all on their own. They say another kid hit them and come crying...

The Supreme Court has agreed to hear a case that could determine whether users can challenge social media companies on free speech grounds. The case, Manhattan Community Access Corp. v. Halleck, No. 17-702, centers on whether a private operator of a public access television network is considered a state actor, which can be sued for First Amendment violations. The case could have broader implications for social media and other media outlets. In particular, a broad ruling from the high court could open the country’s largest technology companies up to First Amendment lawsuits. That could shape the ability of companies like...

If Tom Arnold was ever relevant, he’s working overtime to recapture that nanosecond. And his tactics are brilliant: act like a petulant baby. He was belligerent during his interview with Megyn Kelly, and quite combative during a recent sit-down with Ben Shapiro. Most recently, Arnold has been recorded being a complete jerk to Gosnell star Dean Cain, using politics as an excuse to smear and yell at him. During a guest slot on Larry King’s show, Arnold ran into Cain and things got a little heated to say the least. This was their first meeting since a prickly social media...

There's no doubt that McCain was involved in creating conditions to bring about a global government. When someone dies, we expect people to remain silent if they can’t say anything good about the departed. That’s why I was surprised to see Ben Shapiro take a cheap shot at the President for refusing to comment on McCain’s death. What is there to comment on? Does Shapiro want the President to confirm what the coroner said, or is he trying to keep the President’s feud with McCain in the news by criticizing the President for acting as he should have? Most of...

Liberal Democrats who consider themselves the champions of tolerance constantly show that their actions are quite different from their talking points. Take the case of Israel Broussard, an actor in Netflix’s To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before movie. After being “outed” for “problematic” tweets and likes -- including liking tweets from Daily Wire Editor-in-Chief Ben Shapiro, President Donald Trump and Florida Senator Marco Rubio – the conservative celebrity has officially apologized for his "inappropriate and insensitive words and likes on social media." In an article written by James R. Barrett for the Daily Wire website, the actor who played...

After Ben Shapiro invited Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to appear on his show for a discussion, she falsely equated his invitation with â€ścatcallingâ€ť Conservative Ben Shapiro said he would give $10,000 to Alexandria Ocasio-Cortezâ€™s campaign or favorite charity if she appeared on his show for a discussion.She responded with the following tweet:â€śJust like catcalling, I donÂ’t owe a response to unsolicited requests from men with bad intentions. And also like catcalling, for some reason they feel entitled to one.â€ťShapiro responded to that by saying, among other things:â€śHave you met me? Have you seen me? Do I seem like the kind of guy...

Conservative commentator Ben Shapiro challenged democratic socialist Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to a debate, offering to donate $10,000 to her campaign if she accepted -- but it triggered a sparring match online. Shapiro initially tweeted a video on Wednesday in which he mocked Democratic National Committee chairperson Tom Perez for calling Ocasio-Cortez, a New York congressional candidate, the “future of the Democratic Party,” before issuing his challenge. “Miss Ocasio-Cortez, I’m really excited that you’ve been elevated to that position and I would love to have a real conversation with you about the issues. You’ve noted that you think Republicans are afraid to...

The ad is here. Only after sustained complaint from conservatives has FaceBook relented and admitted, Whoops, look like we jumped the gun and banned another conservative message by "accident." Boy, is our face red. Funny how these mistakes only tend in a single direction. And note that without the social pressure applied against FaceBook, they would have remained firm in their initial decision to censor. And note that David French, Jonah Goldberg, Ben Shapiro et al. all criticize conservatives when they apply such social pressure to reverse the censorial decisions provoked by leftwing social pressure. All these fine defenders of...

Rather than articulate a clear standard by which the conspiracy theorist could be banned, Facebook and its competitors cited vague prohibitions on ‘hate.’ OK, let's say it -- Alex Jones is a full-fledged kook. This is a man who called Special Counsel Robert Mueller a “monster” controlling an unnamed pedophilic gang, and then added, “Politically, you’re going to get it, or I’m going to die trying, bi**h. Get ready. We’re going to bang heads.” This is a man who suggested that the 2012 Sandy Hook massacre never occurred, and then claimed that victims were “child actors.” This is a fellow...

Mike Rowe said that there is profound disconnection between Americans, and it’s this gap that drives the division in the angry discourse over politics. ‘Frustrated people are talking… past each other’ Rowe was responding to conservative commentator Ben Shapiro on his show about the widening gap between different classes of Americans. “We’ve become slowly and inexorably and profoundly disconnected from a lot of very basic things that when I grew up, I was really connected to,” he explained, “like where my food comes from, and where my energy comes from.” “A basic history, a basic curiosity, you know,” he continued,...

"So, how are you planning to pay for that?" This should be the first question asked about any political program. Unfortunately, it's not. And that's why Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., and congressional candidate Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., are thought leaders for their parties. Take Sanders. He has been promoting his "Medicare for All" slogan for years. The left loves it. Among the top Democrats who have embraced this slogan are Sen. Cory Booker, D-N.J., Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., Sen. Kamala Harris, D-Calif., and Sen. Jeff Merkley, D-Ore. Most of those senators want to run for president. So they understand that Sanders'...

Mike Rowe of “Dirty Jobs” fame says there is a simple reason why President Donald Trump was victorious in the 2016 election: “He understands who’s watching and he understands what’s happening.” America’s “everyman” recently sat down with Ben Shapiro, editor-in-chief of the Daily Wire, for a wide-ranging interview for the website’s “Sunday Special.” He used a story regarding his mikeroweWORKS Foundation to explain why Mr. Trump — and not Sen. Bernard Sanders or former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton — now resides in the White House. Mr. Rowe said that he jokingly called out the trio when his CNN show...

I got married last week. Hence my absence from this space for the first time in seven years. It was a beautiful wedding in Acre, Israel, overlooking the ocean at sunset. My father wrote the music for the processional, which brought everyone to tears. My bride looked stunning, of course. We broke the glass, we danced, we ate and we celebrated until deep into the night. Outside the wedding hall stood a guard. Every wedding in Israel requires an armed guard to prevent terrorist attacks. Only the armed guards prevent the infliction of mass casualties at joyous events; only the...

In these tumultuous political and cultural times, we must resolve to be our best selves regardless of the temptation to join the fracas. We must aspire to talk to one another. It is not easily done, and some pay a price for trying. Last week, Hollywood filmmaker Mark Duplass implored like-minded progressives to engage with people they don’t agree with. He tweeted: “Fellow liberals: If you are interested at all in ‘crossing the aisle’ you should consider following @benshapiro. I don’t agree with him on much but he’s a genuine person who once helped me for no other reason than...

Back in Maoist China, one of the communists' favorite tactics to keep people under control was to hold events known as "struggle sessions." When someone was caught dissenting from the party line or otherwise pissing off the wrong people, he or she was dragged to a public place and shamed by an angry mob. There was often an element of physical torture, but the main weapon was psychological. The target would be berated and insulted and humiliated for hours on end. Even the most self-assured dissenter could be broken down and made to repent, given enough public pressure. Shaming people...

Actor and filmmaker Mark Duplass has apologized for initially praising the right-wing pundit and Daily Wire founder Ben Shapiro on Twitter and encouraging his followers to consider following Shapiro, stating that the tweet was a Â“disaster on many levels.Â” Â“IÂ’m really sorry,Â” Duplass tweeted Thursday morning. Â“I now understand that I need to be more diligent and careful. IÂ’m working on that. I want to be clear that I in no way endorse hatred, racism, homophobia, xenophobia or any such form of intolerance.Â” Duplass said the tweet was meant to encourage unity, but admitted Â“sometimes I move too quickly when...
